Designing for Real Life, Not Just Instagram with Tyler Printess Design
In this episode of ‘Bee-Spoke with Experts’, Anthony welcomes Tyler Printess of Tyler Printess Design, a Barrie-based interior designer known for his eclectic, vintage-inspired style and thoughtful approach to building a creative career. They explore how today’s economic uncertainty is shaping client decisions, and how Tyler has learned to adapt by leading with authenticity, warmth, and patience.
Tyler opens up about navigating the early stages of his design business, sharing his journey from business school to finally embracing design after coming out and finding his creative voice. He and Anthony discuss the emotional toll of creative ruts, the importance of movement and routine, and how building strong support systems has helped him push through challenges.
They also talk about trends from the return of brown tones and cozy textures to the rise of meaningful, character-filled spaces and the business side of design, from managing indecisive clients to knowing when it’s time to grow beyond a working relationship. Tyler shares how a recent farmhouse kitchen renovation reminded him that great design is about making real lives better, not just beautiful photos.
This episode is a refreshing look at what it means to be both creative and strategic, passionate and practical, while building a design business that reflects who you really are.
